|I'd call a feature (or a limitation depending on point of view), not a 
|bug. A feature because it means you can use forward slashes 
|cross-platform in Vim, an portability advantage for people who go 
|regularly from one platform to another. Working as portably as 
|possible 
|on various platforms has always been one of the strong points of Vim. 
|Also an advantage for people who, like me, need an AltGr keychord to 
|type a backslash, hitting two keys simultaneously at opposite ends of 
|their national keyboard, but only a shift-chord, which can easily be 
|done with only the right hand, in order to type a forward slash.

Tony, I see your point, but isn't the feature to have backward-slashes
broken, if the implementation stumbles on network paths - and I doubt that
it would be so hard to fix it...

/H.
